Chapter 679: Why Didn’t You Tell Me?
Ted didn’t follow her to the Denmark Residence, so Joshua thought Ted had given up, but Joshua didn’t expect him to pester Hazel.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Soon, Joshua directly called Hazel instead of texting.
Hazel took her phone and walked out to answer the phone.
“Hazel, you were right.” Joshua said in a serious voice, “It should be Ted.”
Then he told her about Ted’s visit to Country Z.
Hazel was shocked. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“I don’t want it to affect your mood,” Joshua said with a wry smile. “Besides, he has been well-behaved after reaching Country Z.”
Hazel frowned. If Joshua didn’t tell her, then Ted wasn’t a threat. But why did he come to pester her?
Suddenly, Hazel remembered the bouquet of flowers he ordered for Joshua.
“You don’t suppose… he’s trying to please you?” she said. She guessed that Ted had seen a boy pestering her yesterday, so he sent flowers in Joshua’s name to make the boy give up.
“Why does he please me?” Joshua asked lightly.
Hazel was silent. Should she tell Joshua that a boy was chasing her in her tutorial class? She didn’t tell him before because she didn’t take it to heart, and now if she told him, it wouldn’t be easy for her to explain.
Joshua whispered, “Hazel, you don’t have to worry about him. I’ll handle….”
“Don’t do anything now,” Hazel whispered. “According to what you said, he probably means no harm. I’ll find out what he wants before we decide what to do.”
Joshua frowns with displeasure. “Hazel, don’t do anything dangerous.”
“It’s all right. I just wanted to confirm my guess,” she said.
He knew he couldn’t stop her, so he could only say, “Be careful and call me at any time. Should I ask some bodyguards to protect you?”
She refused immediately, “I come to study. What will I look like if I take a group of bodyguards with me… Besides, I’m just confirming my guess. It won’t be very dangerous.”
In the end, she managed to stop Joshua.
“I must go back to the classroom now.”When she looked back, she saw a teacher come into the classroom, so she hung up the phone.
When the school was over at noon, Hazel packed up, ready to return to the Denmark Residence.
But when she got to the school gate, she frowned and walked to the place where she had seen Ted yesterday.
Even if she wanted to confirm her guess, she must see Ted first, but it was clear that Ted seemed to be avoiding her.
Suddenly, an angry voice sounded behind her, “Hazel Denmark!”
Hazel frowns with displeasure. She looked back and saw Paul running after her. She was instantly helpless. She and Paul had only met a few times. Even if his pride had been hurt by her refusal, he shouldn’t haunt her so stubbornly.
“What’s the matter with you?” Hazel looked at him coldly.
Furiously, Paul stood in front of Hazel and snapped, “Hazel, don’t pretend to be innocent! You actually said you have a husband, making me lose face in front of so many classmates!
“I think you have lots of sugar daddies! You have no self-respect. You are some old man’s mistress, but you pretend to be innocent. Why can a vile woman like you refuse me…”
Hazel was taken aback. She had never seen such a shameless person! So then, just because she turned him down in the first place and didn’t give him a chance, Paul started slandering her.
“Paul Lopez,” Hazel said with a cold look in her eyes, “if you say slanderous words about me again, you’ll be hearing from my attorney.”
Hazel, who had worked in the Denmark Group for so long, had a commanding air. So when she opened her mouth, Paul felt a little nervous and even a little intimidated.
But soon, he became more furious. Not only did this woman embarrass him, but she actually threatened him?
“Slanderous words?!” Paul sneered, “Hazel Denmark, you’re so stubborn. Fine, I’ll show you the proof!”
With that, he took out his phone and handed it to Hazel. “Look!”
Confused, Hazel took the phone, then slightly paled.
He had pictures on his phone of the driver picking her up at noon and of her getting into Joshua’s car in the afternoon! The driver’s face was clearly photographed, but Joshua didn’t get out of the car, so his face was not photographed.
“You secretly photographed me?” Hazel looked extremely pale. No wonder she always felt that someone was peeping at her yesterday.
“If you don’t want others to know it, you should have behaved yourself earlier!” Paul was sure of his guess.
He quickly took his phone away for fear that Hazel would delete the pictures.
Then, he said with a look of disdain, “You are even willing to follow old men and become romantically involved with two men. I don’t think you come to study. You come to find a young sugar daddy!”
Hazel’s eyes grew colder. She was just angry about being photographed. She really didn’t think it was a big deal, but letting someone like Paul Lopez keep her pictures made her feel strangely sick.
“Paul Lopez,” Hazel said, looking at him coldly. “You’re sort of a classmate of mine as we’re in the same class. As long as you delete these photos, I’ll pretend that nothing has happened. Or I’ll show you what a fool you are!”
“Hazel, you’re still threatening me,” Paul said and laughed in anger. “I’m telling you, I’m not deleting them! Besides, I’m going to send these pictures to the whole class so that they’ll know what kind of woman you really are… Ouch! Who are you?!”
Suddenly, several men in black appeared and grabbed Paul’s phone from his hand.
Paul, who was so scared, asked with a face which was white as a sheet, “You, who are you? Let me go!”
Hazel was shocked again because one of the men who grabbed Paul was none other than Ted!
Ted looked embarrassed when he saw her. The next moment, he said with some displeasure, “How does my son take care of you? How can he let his wife be bullied by such scum?”
